Turn Signal Fork Clamps

I'm thinking about installing new front blinkers using fork clamp mounts, however, I am having trouble finding the right size. I measured the top of my fork tubes (2008 Hype) and got ~57mm diameter, but I am not seeing anything this large in my searches.

Any advise or links would be appreciated.

I modified the straps used to hold a dirt bike headlight.
These stretch and fit any forks.

Hi Minusone,

How did you modify them, and do the blinkers bounce around or hold pretty steady/firm?

Thanks!

I did the same. Actually, same straps, same lights.

Drilled a hole in the rubber tab big enough to thread the light through. The lights jiggle a little but it just provides some shock absorption.

Easy breezy.

There are various UTV and sand rail parts suppliers that make 1.5-2" bar clamps for roll cages. They are usually good quality nice parts. Maybe you can make them work.
